To contribute to academic development in Physical Education/Sports Sciences area, as to data analysis and information generation, this study specific purpose is to know, describe and analyze GSCEAF respective scientific production along its academic performance, according to is respective Research Lines. It also aims at appropriation of works developed to discuss concrete situations of used methodologies application. For this, review and composition of some basic concepts, such as publishing in periodicals and annals, methodological modality and methodological profile, were required. Results presented are divided in two segments: quantitative and qualitative.

As to temporal factor, qualitative studies are predominant at the beginning of period considered and along the years quantitative inferential ones will prevail. As to qualitative elements, each modality is featured, using Group?s productions for their description and exemplification. Discussion carried out concerns main research lines features, to understand data found and also exemplifies adoption of modality used in works approached. Among main conclusions, the following stands out: i) use of MM adopted is connected to its Research Line identity; ii) further appreciation per triennials along period considered pointed out that qualitative studies are predominant at the beginning of period considered and along the years quantitative inferential ones will prevail and iii) as to qualitative aspects features readings of each MM used in Group?s productions have been carried out, as a standardized portfolio
